An alternative to Android"s webview


Does anyone knows an alternative to Android's webview component ? For some reasons, it's functionality's are insufficient for me : I need to be able to catch every single request to some url, when i'm browsing a wml page (wap). Anyway, I need to be able to do stuff that Android's webview is not made for. I thought "hey, let's play with the source code, I'm pretty sure that webviews are using apache.org librairies to access internet". Oh boy was I mistaken. Webviews use native code, and that's where I'm stuck.



So I was wondering if anyone knew of another web browser view, in pure java, that would be open source and nice. It's not a problem if it's slow, i'm displaying some basic wap pages...



Thanks in advance.

  1. Try to see how was Opera Mini programmed.

    But I think you must program it if you want another one . But i would be surprised if it has a nice performance.

  2. Try this:

    goButton4.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View view) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://tory.com/");
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
    startActivity(intent);
    }
    });

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
